A close encounter with Death

Explosion


Burning bus


Stranded on highway


Boarding the bus on trip home


Yeah... thats my closest encounter with death. The whole group of us, all nus students, were sleeping when halfway on the highway, i was awaken by a large explosion. When i looked outside, it was all covered with smoke.

The driver went down to take a look and shout something in malay hysterically... we couldnt comprehend but tot he's trying to tell us to get down fast. We woke up those who were sleeping n dispersed to a safe area. That driver tried to extinguish the fire but gave up after a while as the fire is getting out of control. Within a few minutes the whole bus was burning.

By the time the fire engines arrived, they couldnt do much as what were left was only the bare metal frame of the bus. The interior were all gone. We are considered fortunate cos if we were to stay on the bus a little longer, we wouldnt have survive.
